🛰️ New Article: Building an OSINT Pipeline to Cut Through the Iranian Conflict Noise. SPOILER ALERT: We're winning. I just published a long-form analysis on the Iran conflict and the strategic dynamics around it. Sorry for the Substack-only publication; the article itself was far too long and complex in formatting to publish with 𝕏 tooling. (Feedback to the 𝕏 team - if you can just make full Markdown capability, I would be thrilled.) Before anything else: I'm only a civilian data analyst, not a military officer or intelligence professional. This piece is the result of two weeks of intensive work where I did something unusual.... I built and experimented with an AI-assisted OSINT synthesis pipeline using military doctrine, think tank research, and public reporting. Part of the goal was to produce something useful for readers. But honestly, the bigger goal was education for myself, forcing a structured process to sort signal from noise in an information environment that's chaotic right now. The pipeline pulls from sources like CSIS, ISW, CEPA, ISIS nuclear reporting, CENTCOM and IDF briefings, plus open-source economic and energy data. Where I step beyond what those sources explicitly state, I mark it clearly as [ASSESSED] and try to show the reasoning. This article is the first full output of that process. If you have expertise in: 🔹 air campaign planning 🔹 nuclear nonproliferation 🔹 Middle East security policy 🔹 energy markets 🔹 OSINT methodology I would genuinely welcome corrections, critiques, or improvements. The entire point is to make the analytical process more rigorous over time. The pipeline itself will keep evolving. Bring on the rotten tomatoes. Link in next post 👇 -

Hello Mr. French, Your "conservative" columns illustrate the real divide more clearly than you seem to intend. The line today is not between left and right, but between those who continue to defend institutions that have lost their coherence and those who want to return to the country's founding principles. You have chosen the former. Again and again you use your platform to legitimize voices elevated by institutions that are now plainly failing. The result: the institutions’ confusion shows up in the arguments you advance to the rest of us. This op-ed about James Talarico is a clear example. He has publicly defended positions that cannot be reconciled with Christian teaching: appealing to Gnostic themes to make arguments about transgenderism, or invoking the story of the Virgin Birth to frame abortion as a moral good. You know these arguments; I don’t need to repeat the clips. Yet you chose to devote New York Times space to presenting him as a serious religious voice. That choice says more than the column itself. You are increasingly centering the institutions that reward you with fellowships, with honorariums, with dinners as your heart's idol over defense of actual Christianity. To that end... I've asked you this question several times now. Yet you've never answered. A while back, I was taken aback to see your name listed as a "Founding Field Builder" with New Pluralists. For anyone unfamiliar: New Pluralists emerged after the 2016 election, when Mark Gerzon and the Mediators Foundation convened a gathering of major philanthropic players: representatives from the Soros, Koch, and Rockefeller families, as well as the Ford Foundation. Their shared conclusion: invest enormous sums in NGOs to reshape civic and political structures from the ground up. The strategy centered on open primaries, ranked-choice voting, and other reforms aimed at changing the country’s constitutional and political trajectory. Transforming America from a Republic to an actual mob-rule democracy. And your name appears as a founding member. I'm asking you to address this directly, for the third time. David French -- what is your role in this plan to change the foundations of this country just because you hate that Trump is the Constitutionally elected President? -

I already generated a dossier on Spanberger, but the most interesting part of it is that she is part of a cohort of 50+ military-intelligence veterans that have been recruited to run as Democratic candidates starting in 2018. @SomeBitchIIKnow first hypothesized this, but my new dossier pipeline independently captured them. A Democrat retires. A CIA member takes over. Spanberger is part of a much deeper, much more disturbing story here. -

🧵 THREAD: Reid Hoffman: the quintessential "Defender of Democracy" LinkedIn founder and tech mogul Reid Hoffman has spent endless millions making himself indispensable to the democracy ecosystem. Here's just a sampling : 🔹 Created fake "Russian bot accounts" to create allegations of Russia helping a 2017 Senate election 🔹 Mis-stated the extent of his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein and how long he continued to meet with Epstein 🔹 Crown Fellow at the Aspen Institute, the mysterious foreign-policy thinktank which receives money from both US and foreign governments 🔹 Highly influential in foreign policy circles: Bilderberg Group, Council on Foreign Relations, and more 🔹Along with George Soros, one of the biggest donors to American Bridge 21st Century, a Brock-ran PAC designed to trash Republican candidates You'd think that @RadioFreeTom , if he were so worried about lack of expertise, he would be calling out those people who spend enormous amounts of money interfering and shaping US elections. But, instead, nah, it's the West Virginia blue collar guy who's ruining America.... not the fact that people like Reid Hoffman and Jeffrey Epstein can buy their way into the highest levels of global influence. Here's the highlights of Reid Hoffman. As always, patience as I pull together the thread👇 -

🧵THREAD: Is Trump's hunch about foreign influence in SCOTUS correct? After the Supreme Court's 6-3 ruling on tariffs, Trump said "It's my opinion that the court has been swayed by foreign interests and a political movement that is far smaller than people would ever think." Trump is likely referring to the ideology of supranationalism -- a centuries-old ideology that considered tariffs to be among the highest economical blunders, not for economic reasons, but because tariffs dare to assert national rights in a telos of universal liberalism. But is he right about the foreign influence? As has been widely reported, @MikeBenzCyber has unpacked the details of the friendship between John Roberts and Norm Eisen, and their Prague vacations where they discussed "American and European rule-of-law issues" together. But there's more to it. A lot more. 👇 As always, patience as I pull the thread together. -

🧵THREAD: Is Brooklyn, NY a Medicaid fraud hotspot? Brooklyn, NY has a home care billing industry that defies belief. One zip code (11232, Sunset Park) has 30,181 residents and $3.8 BILLION in Medicaid claims. That's $143,000 per man, woman, and child. What's even stranger is that the average income is $90K, the poverty rate is below 20%, and it is one of the younger zip codes in the area. Receipts below.👇 As always, patience as I pull together the thread. -

I’m honored to be joining Oversight Project at @ItsYourGov as a Visiting Fellow. My work and voice here on 𝕏 remains independent. That was non-negotiable. This role gives me institutional access and tools. I'll keep following the data wherever it leads. Grateful for the trust, and grateful for all of you who've been here from the beginning -

Now for some positivity on this feed... We met with Hare Krishnas serving food at WEF (the only open tent exhibit). Their ability to serve hot food on mass scale seems genuine, and they are expanding their operations to America. They tried to recruit my mother to work for their upcoming Florida kitchens, lol. They were so excited that "DataRepublican" was interviewing them. -
